Breaking: Islanders to make goalie change for do or die Game 4

The New York Islanders are looking at every change possible ahead of tonight’s Game 4 seeing that the Carolina Hurricanes could come in and sweep them out of the postseason.

After this morning’s skate, head coach Barry Trotz met with media to take about potential changes to his lineup and revealed that changes are possible at all positions.

However, a more important change could be coming as team insider Arthur Staple of The Athletic believes that goalie Thomas Greiss will be starting in net over Robin Lehner, who has started in all previous seven games since the start of the postseason.

Trotz said changes are possible at all positions. Unless there's an injury on D, nothing's changing there -- not putting Sbisa in cold.

Up front, Dal Colle would be the obvious choice for an injured forward or just a change.

And a hunch -- I think Greiss starts Game 4.

The Islanders could make several lineup changes for Game 4 against the Hurricanes (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, SN, TVAS), including Thomas Greiss for Robin Lehner in net. New York trails the best-of-7 series 3-0. https://t.co/sBV1zLZE6l

New York's two netminders combined to win the William M. Jennings Trophy as they put up comparable regular-season stats: Lehner posted a 2.13 goals-against average and .930 save percentage, Greiss a 2.28 GAA and .927 save percentage.

Lehner has been great for the Isles - however, unlike Greiss, he has lost all games against the Canes these past weeks.

A change could be beneficial for the Islanders who could potentially send the series back to Brooklyn on Sunday.
